Thibs’s firing, unfortunately, is part of a bizarre trend in the NBA of getting rid of successful, experienced head coaches. Every winner of the NBA Coach of the Year award between 2018 and 2023 has been fired. That includes Thibs, who earned the honor with the Knicks in 2021. bit.ly/3Fsj4ox

As you know, the RTA was set up to satisfy separate political interests, not to promote mass transit. The Dems got the CTA and the GOP got Metra and Pace. It’s almost like the systems were designed to discourage free movement between city and suburbs. Wonder why that could’ve been?

The word “quisling” refers to someone who collaborates with his country’s enemies. It comes from Vidkun Quisling, who led a puppet government in Norway during the Nazi occupation in WWII. Modern synonyms for “quisling” include Republican Party, Columbia University, Kirkland & Ellis and Jeff Bezos.

Apart from showing how evil he is yesterday, Trump showed how he’s actually a bad—moronic—dealmaker. I mean, you’ve got some guy coming in to give you his country’s minerals. Wouldn’t you want to get him to sign first before berating him on global television?
